Hello,
This circle states it is a designer circle so I guess this question is best posted here?
After looking into a bunch of other subwoofer designs, and overall pro's & con's such as Vented vs. Sealed etc... I have a question I can't find much info on.
What is the best material and / or method of tuning the sub cabinet?
I realize that with most plate amp subs or even more exotic types using outboard processors you can do a lot to "Tune" the sub to your room, and main speakers of course electrically.
My question is on the Acoustic tuning side of this -
From my understanding nearly all conventional damping materials like resonance damping pads on the side walls, foam, dacron, wool etc... Actually more or less have no effect on tuning much below 200 hz anyway?
I currently have a Sealed sub system which uses dual 12" woofers and a 1000 watt amp that is sealed in a separate chamber as well. So in fact electronics getting tangled up in something is not an issue, and neither is heat with this design.
What material or combination of materials if any should the enclosure be treated with to make sure it is tuned to get the most efficient output, power handling + woofer control, and of course smooth response?
Or being it is a sealed sub is it best to just leave the bare wood walls internally?
Thanks
